Abyssal (Infernal)

Script: Claw

Summary: Aybssal and Infernal are the languages of demons, devils, and monsters. Anyone who speaks either must have some amount of magical ability, as they are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to create some of the noises in the language with normal humanoid vocal cords.

The two languages are essentially differing dialects of the same language, but over the millennia, have divided enough that knowing one doesn't allow someone to understand the other.  

Sounds: Infernal is a high-pitched language, constructed out of a series if clicks, cracking noises, and sounds reminiscent of the shattering of glass. It can sometimes be painful to listen to.

Appearance: Infernal and Abyssal distinguish themselves from other Claw-Script languages in that the depth of the clawmarks comes into play. The written languages feature a great deal of dots - created by stabbing a claw into the thing being written upon, rather than just scratching - and the size of the dots relative to one another changes their meaning.
